The property is <br />th <br />at the southeast corner of Twin Lakes Road and 175 Ave. The applicant proposes construction of a 52-unit <br />apartment complex that is a permitted use on the property, meaning it does not require a Conditional Use Permit <br />or a plat at this time. <br /> <br />The northwest corner of the property is encumbered by a large, curved right-of-way which remains from a <br />previous road alignment.
